Maybe the AI was trained on a Pornhub-heavy dataset?
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 5 weeks ago:
Do players celebrate layoffs? Or do they just enjoy the schadenfreude when karma bites executives and managers who disrespect their customers?
Either way, yeah $70 for a game, especially for a bad one, buys me the right to complain.

Oof! Cool perspective
- Comment on Square Enix Has Set Up A New Policy To Go After Harassers 2 months ago:
So people will either simply stop talking about Square Enix at all or make sure they use a VPN/Tor and burner email to do it. SE do know who their customers are, no?
- Comment on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds creator wants to build a "metaverse" but says it might take 15 years and can't explain what it will look like yet 2 months ago:
At this point, he’d be better advised to spin up an OpenSimulator instance, hire Firestorm to build a custom viewer, and focus on building his world. Reinventing the wheel — again — is pointless.
- Comment on Nintendo is targeting members of a popular Switch piracy subreddit | VGC 3 months ago:
Nintendo’s own-goals are getting embarrassing.
- Comment on Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again' 3 months ago:
Yes, but he’ll gaslight the rest of us into calling it “bee-GOH” Games.

I realize that they’re trying to appease a
terrorist“activist investor,” but the Times is rapidly tanking their credibility with readers - Comment on 'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment' 5 months ago:
The upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will somewhat surprisingly not use Denuvo at all
There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.

If I read a forum where people are known to object to what I do, there’s a fair chance I’ll get my feelings hurt. That’s on me.

- Comment on Saber won't say whether their CEO wrote this highly baity comment about games "imposing morals on gamers" 6 months ago:
Whether he said it or not, social engineering is perhaps as inappropriate in games as in schools. I agree with the sentiment that I play games to get away from reality, not to get slapped with extra-strength RL issues.
- Comment on Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons 6 months ago:
It’ll definitely lead to a few never-imagined-by-humans campaigns.
Now I want to plug in the rules to ChatGPT and let it run a session, just for fun.
- Comment on Wine team now hosting Mono, looking to adopt the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct 6 months ago:
Someone wants to remind them that Ehmke lost. There’s such a backlash against her brand of approved discrimination that DEI is being dismantled, made illegal, and generally thrown in the dustbin. She’s probably not the best person to advise on equality issues.

Pretty sure that French would pronounce it /u/ not /ju/.

Activist investors should be sidelined by any means necessary.
- Comment on Texas Sues for Access to Records of Women Seeking Out-of-State Abortions 6 months ago:
I’ve said before, and I’ll say again: The next time they try to secede, LET THEM GO!
- Comment on How to Sign Up for Local Emergency Alerts Before Natural Disasters Strike. 6 months ago:
I admit that I have all alerts deactivated for the simple reason that our local agencies can’t seem to use SAME codes and I get tired of waking in the middle of the night for a thunderstorm three counties over.

I’m not the one who brought athletics into this. I’m just following the conversation. But no, “esports” do not meet the definition of “sport.”
